Totally thoracoscopic surgical resection of left ventricular benign tumor.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The study objective was to explore the feasibility and safety of totally endoscopic resection of a left ventricular tumor through small chest incisions without robotic assistance.

Methods

Four patients with a left ventricular tumor (1 papillary fibroelastoma, 1 lipoma, and 2 myxomas) underwent surgery with peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass. The mean age of patients was 58 ± 15 years. There were 3 female patients and 1 male patient. Through 3-port incisions in the right chest, pericardiotomy, bicaval cannulation, cardiac arrest, and atriotomy, left ventricular tumor resection was performed under thoracoscopy.

Results

All patients had successful resections. The cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic crossclamp times were 110 ± 14 minutes and 58 ± 19 minutes, respec
